Personal Resources

TerpConnect provides all current students, faculty and staff on campus an
Unix account with 5 GB of personal storage space. Users also have login access
to the general purpose login boxes.
The disk storage can be accessed from these login boxes, computers in a
Division of IT managed
computer lab, or from any computer
on the internet with the proper credentials. This storage is backed up
nightly. You are also able to create your own
web pages on the TerpConnect
server.

The Glue Research and Academic Computing Environment (
GRACE)
is designed to help meet some of the information technology needs of faculty,
students, and reseachers at the University of Maryland. Instructors can
request GRACE spaces be created for courses they are teaching, which will
provide some disk and compute resources for students registered for the
course, as well as some facilities for sharing files and creating password
protected web pages for the course. Researchers can also apply for some
modest file and compute resources for their research.
